Silk Oil of Morocco - Hair & Skin Treatment - review


Argan oil and 'Moroccan oil' products have taken the hair care world by storm in recent years.  My first experience with a Moroccan oil product was positive, and it's a product that I haven't been without since then.  There are so many brands available these days, and I have tried a few.  So when I saw a brand called Silk Oil of Morocco being promoted on TVSN, I thought - here we go, another "Moroccan oil" brand.  However I decided to do a bit of research, and I also listened in to the shows, to find out more about Moroccan Argan Oil, and this particular company.  

Silk Oil of Morocco is an Australian company, and their range is made here in Australia. Their products were created out of need for more natural, but effective hair and skin care products.  All Silk Oil of Morocco products contain certified organic cold-pressed Argan oil, which is harvested in sustainable methods in south-west Morocco.  Their range began with a humble serum, but has now expanded to include a wide range of hair care products (shampoos, conditioners, treatments and styling products), skin care products and cosmetics.  What I particularly like about this company is that they formulate their products without a lot of the ingredients that can have a negative effect on hair and skin, such as sulphates, parabens, formaldehydes, talcs and fillers.

So what is it that makes Argan oil so good?  

- Argan oil contains numerous beneficial vitamins and nutrients, including vitamins E, C, F and A, Omega 9, essential fatty acids, squalene and antioxidants.  
- These vitamins and nutrients have great healing properties, provide hydration to the skin and hair, and provide protection against oxidative damage, environmental pollution and damage from UV rays.
- It has a low molecular weight, so absorbs easily into the hair shaft and also the skin.
- It can assist in balancing the sebum levels in the skin.

Key points to remember when purchasing Argan oil products

- Argan oil comes from the Argan tree, which grows predominantly in south-west Morocco.  Check where the Argan oil is sourced from - the location of the source of the Argan oil can be an indicator of whether it is genuine.
- Due to lack of regulation, a product can be marketed as an "Argan oil" product, even if it contains low concentrations such as 0.5%.  Check the amount of Argan oil in the product.
- Much like juicing, cold-pressed Argan oil is far superior than Argan oil which has been extracted by other methods (such as boiling).  Cold pressing ensures that the highest possible concentration of nutrients are extracted, and that they remain in tact.  Heat extraction can cause the vitamins and nutrients to deteriorate.
- Check whether the Argan oil is 'certified organic', and has not been grown using any chemicals.

My Review

This was one of the original products released in the Silk Oil of Morocco range, and was also the first of their products I tried.  I was running out of my other Moroccan oil serum, and decided to give this one a go.  Silk Oil of Morocco claim to use one of the highest known percentages of Argan oil in their serum (13%).   

I could tell that this serum had a higher amount of Argan oil than other serums I had tried.  Initially, I felt that it would be too greasy and oily for my hair, because I could see and feel this oily substance on my hands.  But not only did it soak into my hair, but it did absorb into my hands as well without any residue.  I usually apply the serum on wet hair just before blowdrying, and also after blowdrying.  It's on dry hair that it looks like it's just going to sit there on the surface of the hair and give a shiny, oily look.  But give it a couple of minutes or so, and it absorbs nicely without any residue.  

It works brilliantly as a heat protecting product, but also as a styling product to control flyaways and frizzies, and to give a healthy shine to the hair.  The ends of my hair feel much more hydrated when I use this particular serum.  Most of the time, it's the only product that I use on my hair prior to blowdrying and straightening - and so far, I've had no split ends.  And best of all - it cuts down my blowdrying time.  

It took me a while, but I started using the serum on my skin, particularly on the areas of my scalp where I suffer from eczema, and it helps to settle the flakiness and redness.  And I now apply it on any patches of skin which are suffering from dryness.  The packaging of this serum is great - every bottle, from the smallest to the largest size, comes with a pump, so it's very convenient.  

The scent is a light fruity passionfruit scent, which when first used, feels like it's lingering.  But the more you use it, the less noticeable the scent becomes.  

The verdict:  Compared to other Argan oil serums I've tried, this one is definitely up there as one of the best quality.  I have since tried many other products in the Silk Oil of Morocco range, and have been really impressed (hint - more reviews coming!).  The serum is a great all-round product for the hair - as a heat protecting product, smoothing, anti-frizz and shine product, and also works great on the skin as a moisturiser, and on the scalp to help with any dry patches and flaking.  It might seem oily initially, but give it a couple of minutes and it does soak in.


Stockists: Silk Oil of Morocco products are available from the Silk Oil of Morocco website, selected salons, and TVSN.

Aveeno Daily Moisturising Body Wash & Daily Moisturising Lotion - review


Last week, we enjoyed a bit of an Indian summer here in South Australia.  I can't believe that I was wearing clothes that I would normally wear in the middle of summer - 3 weeks out from winter!  Despite this warm spell of weather, my skin still looked like it does in the middle of winter, because the air was deceivingly dry and dehydrating.  Combined with a cold spell we had prior to this, my skin has become very stressed - and my hands are the biggest indicator of this.  When my hands become dry, cracked and split, I know that it's time to amp up the skincare on my body and face, as these generally tend to follow next.  I need thicker hand creams, moisturising body washes and more hydrating body lotions.  

So I was very keen to try the AVEENO Daily Moisturising Body Wash and AVEENO Daily Moisturising Lotion.  Both of these products contain oatmeal - and ingredient which has been been used as far back as the times of the ancient Greeks and Romans.  I have included some information from AVEENO about the benefits of oats further below.  You may have also seen the recent advertisements for these products, with Jennifer Aniston as the new face of AVEENO.

All the info from AVEENO - Colloidal Oatmeal

AVEENO scientists have developed innovative processes to retain oatmeal's ACTIVE NATURALS.  Active Naturals are ingredients derived from nature and uniquely formulated by Aveeno to optimise the healthy and beautiful appearance of skin.

The role of colloidal oatmeal in skin care
Colloidal oatmeal contains a broad-spectrum of non-denatured active components that provide a number of skin benefits:

- These beneficial components include:
     - proteins: help moisturise and sooth dry skin
     - lipids: replenish skin and help slow moisture loss
     - vitamin E: an antioxidant, which helps fight free radical damage and help prevent aging
     - enzymes: antioxidant properties, nourish skin and help balance pH levels
     - polysaccharides: leave a protective film on the skin to prevent water loss
     - saponins: help lift potentially irritating dirt and oily secretions
     - avenanthramides: anti-irritation benefits


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In my experience as a health professional, I learned that when the skin's lipid barrier is impaired, it can lead to skin issues (such as dermatitis).  Therefore it is important to maintain the integrity of this lipid barrier with the use of topical products which help to keep this lipid barrier functioning normally.  The lipid content of oats makes them a useful ingredient to help maintain this barrier and therefore reduce water loss from the skin.



AVEENO Daily Moisturising Body Wash



















All the info from AVEENO

AVEENO Daily Moisturising Body Wash cleanses and moisturises for visibly healthy looking skin every time you shower.  This breakthrough formula combines natural colloidal oatmeal - long known to retain moisture and soothe skin - with a unique blend of natural oils and emollients to lock in moisture.  This creamy, lightly fragranced formula lathers gently then rinses clean, resulting in softer, smoother, healthy looking skin long after you shower.  And it's soap-free, dye-free and even gentle enough for sensitive skin.  FOR DAILY USE: Squeeze body wash onto a wet pouf, washcloth or hands.  Work into a rich, creamy lather, then rinse.  FOR SHAVING: Apply by hand as a rich shaving lotion for silky, smooth legs.

RRP: $9.95

My Review

As an overall body wash, I loved many things about this.  The texture is thick and creamy, and it lathers generously.  The feeling on my skin after rinsing and drying off was just what my skin needed - it felt soft, hydrated and moisturised, but there was absolutely no residue whatsoever.  I've tried many body washes and body scrubs that claim to leave the skin moisturised after use, but they leave a horrible oily residue on top of the skin.  The Aveeno Body Wash manages to moisturise the skin without the residue, and it is also long lasting - even the day after, I could feel the improvement in hydration of my skin.

Scent wise, I find it really pleasant - it is fresh, slightly floral, but very modern.  It's actually a very calming, relaxing scent, and reminds me of a Johnson's body wash that I purchased a few years ago, that was designed to be used at night time to help you relax.  The scent does linger for a little, but I personally didn't find it overpowering.

I also used this body wash for shaving as recommended, and it worked brilliantly.  For this method, you don't lather the body wash - you just apply it right out of the bottle, directly onto the skin.  The razor just glided over my skin with easy, and my skin was left feeling much smoother and less irritated after.  

Just a note regarding the ingredient listing - this body wash doesn't have SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate), but it does contain sodium laureth sulfate (also known as SLES).  From my personal understanding, SLES is formulated to be less irritating than SLS.  However, for those who have issues with sulfates in general, they might need to check the suitability.  Even though I have occasional flare-ups of eczema, I didn't have any issues with this.


Ingredient listing















The verdict: A richly lathering, hydrating body wash which doesn't leave any residue on the skin.  It's perfect for the colder months when skin feels parched, and works brilliantly as a shaving lotion, to help prevent dryness and irritation from razors.



AVEENO Daily Moisturising Lotion




















All the info from AVEENO

AVEENO Daily Moisturising Lotion unlike ordinary lotions, contains natural oatmeal blended with rich emollients to moisturise your skin for a full 24 hours.  The unique oatmeal formula of AVEENO also helps prevent and protect dry skin providing temporary relief of the scaling and chapping associated with dry skin.  This naturally nourishing, nongreasy formula absorbs quickly, is noncomedogenic (won't clog pores), and contains no added fragrance.  AVEENO Daily Moisturising Lotion leaves your skin soft, smooth and naturally healthy looking.

Clinically proven to:
- Relieve dry skin
- Moisturise for a full 24 hours

RRP: $3.95 (71mL), $9.95 (225mL tube), $12.95 (354mL pump)


My Review

Firstly, I love the convenience of the pump pack that the 354mL size comes in - great for the bedside table or desk.  The consistency of this lotion is on the thicker side of the scale, however it glides beautifully on the skin, absorbs quickly, and doesn't leave any residue.  This is a must for me when it comes to body lotions and hand creams - I absolutely dislike having any sort of feeling of lotion on my skin.  


AVEENO Daily Moisturising Lotion -
consistency















This lotion makes my skin feel like it's slurped up a huge drink of water.  And best of all, this hydrated feeling lasts a really long time - as stated on the packaging, 24 hours.  I have been using this lotion a lot on my hands, as they had become extremely dry and cracked last week - to the point of bleeding.  This lotion has really helped, because even after washing my hands, they still feel soft and hydrated.  And they also look less red and irritated.

Although there is no added fragrance to this, you still get the mild scent of the oats.  For some reason, it reminds me a bit of frangipane (almond scent/flavouring), but it's not overpowering.  


Ingredient listing

















The verdict: A thick textured, hydrating, but readily absorbed and non-greasy lotion.  The hydration is long lasting, and can even be felt after washing the skin.  Great to use on the hands.

Mirenesse Pearl Crush Creaseless Shadow in 'Nox' - ombre-inspired eye look



The Mirenesse Pearl Crush Creaseless Shadow in No.10 "Nox" is one of the shadows which is part of Mirenesse's Boudoir Collection.  I have previously tried their Pearl Crush Creaseless Shadows and was impressed, and this particular trio of purples caught my eye, as they are colours which are so on-trend right now.  In addition, these trios make it easy to create an ombre eye look, as the colours are complementary, and you don't have to worry about searching through different shades of eyeshadow to find shades that will work well together.


All the info from Mirenesse

A trio of pure crushed natural minerals that blend seamlessly to create flawless eye with the latest fashion colours. Use wet or dry to create eye defining effects. Infused with a powerful rejuvenating peptide.  Ideal for long lasting professional blend eye makeup. Colours blend together effortlessly to create beautiful eyes.


My Review

This trio contains a sheer white, a vivid purple, and a deep charcoal-purple.  











I use the following steps to create an ombre-inspired eye look:

Step 1: After applying an eyeshadow primer to the entire lid, I apply the white shade, from the inner corner to the middle of the lid.  I like to use a contour brush, which allows a concentrated amount of eyeshadow to be deposited on the eye.  I use either the NARS Contour Brush (pictured), or the Mirenesse Contour Brush.















Step 2: Using the same brush, I apply the vivid purple shade so that it covers the middle to outer corner of the lid.  I start from the outer corner and work inwards, as this then deposits the most amount of colour on the outer corner, and gives a more even gradient effect between the two colours in the middle of the lid.












Step 3: Using a smudge brush (I like to use the Mirenesse Smudge Brush), I apply the dark charcoal purple into the crease, starting from the outer corner & working inwards - just to cover approximately the outer third of the crease line.  The brush is angled directly perpendicular to the crease, so that only the tips of the brush are in contact with the eyelid.


























Step 4: After applying into the crease, I then position the brush at the outer corner of the crease again, and then sweep down towards the lashline, creating a 'V' on the outer corner of the lid.













Step 5: I then use the contour brush, or a suitable blending brush, and blend the dark shade inwards into the crease, and also down towards the lashline.  

If needed, I reapply some of the white shade in the inner half of the eye, and some of the vivid purple in the outer half and blend again, until the desired depth and intensity is achieved.  

I apply concealer underneath the eye, and sweep it upwards towards the outer corner of the eye to sharpen the outer edge.  

Finished look:














In terms of the formulation of this shadow trio, I found that the intensity of the pigment and staying power was not quite the same as the regular line of Mirenesse Pearl Crush Creaseless Shadows.  I found that I had to go back and reapply the first 2 colours, because they had faded a bit by the time I had finished applying the 3rd colour.  And I always use an eyeshadow primer underneath - both to increase the intensity and staying power of my eyeshadows.  Still, the quality, pigment and lasting power of this trio is much better than some other brands I've tried.

Overall the Mirenesse Pearl Crush Creaseless Shadow in Nox is really nice - the colours are beautiful and work well together, and save the hassle of trying to match shades together if you want to create an ombre look.

Neutrogena Naturals - review


When it comes to skin care, products containing natural ingredients might not have previously been perceived as being effective, or associated with any significant efficacy.  I know from personal experience that products I have used in the past which have been marketed as 'natural' came with a sacrifice - visible results.  However, time can only bring better discoveries and technologies - and it is promising to see the release of products which are not only natural, but are effective.  I have previously tried some great products from Neutrogena, so I was very interested to hear about the release of the Neutrogena Naturals range.  

Neutrogena Naturals has been formulated without harsh chemical sulphates, parabens, petrolatum, dyes or phthalates.  They have been formulated with bionutrients, which are naturally derived compounds that are needed for healthy skin.  The Neutrogena Naturals range includes face cleansers, face moisturisers, a face scrub, a lip balm and a face and body bar.  

For reference, I have oily-combination skin, open pores, and some redness on my cheeks.  Although I wouldn't call my skin sensitive, I do suffer from eczema around the edge of my face, such as near the jawline, near and around my ears, and on the top of my forehead.  So for my daily skincare regimen, I can't use any products which are too harsh or drying.  I have trialled a few of the Neutrogena products in this range, with my reviews included below.

Neutrogena Naturals Lip Balm 




















All the info from Neutrogena
Neutrogena Naturals Lip Balm moisturises and soothes lips.  The long lasting formula with Vitamin E bionutrients heals dry skin and keeps lips healthy looking.  RRP: $4.99

My Review
One of my desert island products has to be lip balm.  It's a product that I am never without, and it's something that I have on my lips constantly - whether it's alone or under lip colour.  So it's virtually on my lips 24/7, and because of this, I am a bit more conscious about the type of lip balm I wear these days, especially the ingredient content.  Most of the time, I prefer to wear a lip balm with natural ingredients, so I was very keen to try the Neutrogena Naturals Lip Balm.

Not only is the natural ingredient listing impressive, but the formulation and texture is great.  It glides onto the lips nicely, without being too firm and waxy, but isn't that soft that it's greasy or slippery.  I find that lip balms that have a texture which is too slippery, feel oily and unpleasant on the lips, and slip off easily, requiring regular reapplication.  However, this texture is just right - it would best describe it as a satin texture.   The scent is very subtle - I sense a slight minty, slight cocoa scent, which disappears quickly.  

In terms of the emollient effect on my lips, it generally did a great job of keeping my lips hydrated and soft.  The weather is still mind here (the cold weather hasn't set in yet).  So it will be interesting to see how this goes over the winter months.


Lip balm packaging









Back of packaging/ingredient listing














The verdict:  This is a great lip balm all-round, and for me ticks all the boxes including texture (emollient, but not greasy), scent (subtle & not overpowering), and results (keeps lips smooth and hydrated).  And the 100% naturally derived ingredient listing gets a double tick!


Neutrogena Naturals Face & Body Bar
















All the info from Neutrogena
Avocado and Olive Oil bionutrient rich bar gently cleanses and conditions skin. Neutrogena® Naturals Face & Body Bar gently cleanses, conditions and softens your skin without overdrying. This avocado and olive oil bionutrient rich bar nourishes skin. Specially formulated for face and body and fragrance-free. RRP: $4.99

My Review
It's been a while since I've tried a bar soap, as I tend to use body wash/liquid soap these days.  However, this was a great product to use.  It lathered well, and cleansed my skin nicely without stripping or drying my skin.  If anything, I thought I might be left with a bit of an oily residue on my skin, however it didn't do this.  There is no scent, so a scented body wash or other body product can be used following this Face & Body Bar without any issues with clashing scents or too many scents.


Back of packaging/Ingredient listing

















The verdict: An effective, non-drying cleansing bar, that is virtually as natural as you can get, and is great for everyday use.



Neutrogena Naturals Purifying Facial Cleanser



























All the info from Neutrogena 
This face wash contains natural salicylic acid found in Willowbark bionutrients to penetrate deep into pores to detoxify and help remove dirt, oil and makeup, while rinsing clean without pore-clogging residue.Suitable for acne prone skin.

RRP: $14.99

My Review
The timing of trialling this product couldn't have been better, as my skin was feeling a bit congested.  We had a spell of humid weather, and then it suddenly went very dry - and the skin on my face and body just hasn't been liking it.  On my face, my pores have been getting clogged very easily.  I used this cleanser every morning for several consecutive days, and it was impressive. The consistency is what I would expect from a clarifying or purifying cleanser - transparent, not too thick and not creamy.  It produced a nice lather, cleansed my face effectively, but didn't leave that tight, dry feeling after, nor did it leave any sort of residue.  

The scent is really pleasant - it's a fresh, green apple scent, which isn't too overpowering and doesn't linger endlessly on the skin.  I also love pump designs when it comes to cleansers, as they are so much more convenient to use.  I used this cleanser in conjunction with the Purifying Pore Scrub (discussed further below), and I found that my pores felt much cleaner and less congested as the days progressed.

Texture & consistency
Back of packaging/Ingredient listing

























The verdict:  A pleasantly fragranced, generous lathering cleanser that cleanses oils from the face, without stripping.  With consecutive uses, it helps to keep the pores clearer and less congested.


Neutrogena Naturals Fresh Cleansing + Makeup Remover
























All the info from Neutrogena
Completely cleans skin and removes makeup in one step without stripping skin’s natural moisture. This Peruvian Tara seed bionutrient rich cleanser is clinically proven to soften skin naturally. Developed for gentle eye area.  
RRP: $14.99

My Review
My regular day & night cleansing routine involves using two different cleansers - the morning cleanser is targeted at clarifying and pore cleansing, and the night cleanser is aimed at removing makeup.  So the Neutrogena Naturals range made it easy for me to stick with this routine - I designated the Purifying Facial Cleanser for morning use, and the Fresh Cleansing + Makeup Remover for the evening.  

The Fresh Cleansing + Makeup Remover has a thicker consistency than the Purifying Cleanser (as can be seen below), which, ideally is needed for removing makeup.  I applied this cleanser on a slightly damp face, and then worked it into the makeup.  Although this cleanser doesn't lather like the Purifying Facial Cleanser, I could see that it was working to lift the makeup, because the cleanser was starting to change colour.  The first time I used this cleanser, I noticed some makeup residue on the towel after rinsing the cleanser off.  I thought perhaps that it hadn't completely cleansed my makeup off.  So I tested this theory with a makeup removing wipe, and found that there was barely any makeup residue left behind - it had actually done a great job at removing my makeup.   

For me personally, any slight makeup residue isn't an issue, as I remove my makeup just prior to showering, and I also give my face another quick cleanse with my SLS-free liquid soap.  Alone, my regular soap isn't nearly enough for a complete cleanse of my skin - I definitely need a designated makeup removing cleanser.  Depending on the type of makeup, one cleanse alone with the Neutrogena Naturals Fresh Cleansing + Makeup Remover might be sufficient.  But for me personally, I prefer to do a quick second cleanse as well.   

The scent is virtually the same as the Purifying Facial Cleanser - a fresh apple scent.  And as with the other cleanser, my skin wasn't left feeling stripped or dry.  Even though this cleanser is also designed for the eye area, I didn't use this on my eyes, as I didn't feel comfortable doing so - I have previously used cleansers with this consistency on the eyes & ended up with a lot in my eyes!  So these days, I prefer to use specific eye makeup removers that can be soaked into cotton wipes.  


Back of packaging/Ingredient listing
Texture & consistency
























The verdict:  Without doubt, the Neutrogena Naturals Fresh Cleansing + Makeup Remover does a great job of removing makeup.  Depending on the type of makeup used, it might require a second cleanse.  However it makes the process of makeup removal much easier and effortless.


Neutrogena Naturals Purifying Pore Scrub



























All the info from Neutrogena 
Gently scrubs away impurities and dull, dead skin cells that can build up in pores to improve complexion for fresh, clear skin. Suitable for even acne prone skin. Gentle enough for daily use. Won’t clog pores.
RRP: $14.99

My Review
What I first noticed about this scrub is the texture - it's creamy, so a little goes a long way.  However despite the creaminess, it wasn't greasy and didn't leave any residue on my skin.  The small beads of jojoba are very gentle, and for someone like me who gets clogged pores and congested skin easily, it's probably a bit too gentle for those areas, so I still needed to use a more abrasive scrub (such a salt, sugar or walnut shell based scrub) on my T-zone and chin once or twice a week .   I also had to use the Neutrogena scrub on a daily basis for effectiveness on my skin, which it was - my pores felt much less congested and blocked.  
The scent again is the pleasant and fresh green apple scent.  





Back of packaging/Ingredient listing


Texture & consistency













The verdict:  A great scrub which is safe and gentle enough to use on a daily basis, as an extra 'insurance policy' against clogged pores (in addition to a cleanser).  This would be great for someone who suffers from sensitive skin and can't use abrasive scrubs.  However for those with skin like mine, which can be stubborn and get clogged up easily, an extra weekly scrub using something more abrasive is probably still needed.

Overall verdict: The Neutrogena Naturals range has been a pleasant range to use - not only have the textures and scents been great, but they worked well to keep my skin clear, and didn't exacerbate any redness or eczema on my face.  For those who suffer from sensitive skin, this range is well worth a look.

Stockists: Leading supermarkets, variety stores and pharmacies nationally.
